FCPA offers no additional detail, but we understand that the extremely high-quality CAM copies of the movies leaked online were directly linked to the defendant’s skills and the career he hoped to pursue somewhere in the film or TV industry. A mere conviction probably ended that dream, regardless of the scale of the punishment.
Seems like the industry is happy to dash the prospects of a future industry insider that could make them more money than they could ever (pretend to) lose to piracy. Twisted.
